Here are some pictures of the semi-auto (only) FG42 taken in the AZ daylight.
This was assembled from a destroyed bring-back - the bolt, recoil buffer and op-rod as well as all of the internal trigger-parts and selector levers, and spring-steel-pin-holder had been lost to time.
Custom parts were created (USC 922r), and the gun is operable in Semi-automatic only.
Denial parts in the lower and upper receivers prevent original parts being exchanged, or open bolt operation.
The receiver re-weld scars are visible inside the receiver -

One magazine is original - Slj 01 - there are three "modern" SSD 20 round magazines and two SSD 10 round magazines.

The Zf4 scope is original and marked with an "L" - the caps and covers were bought here as original - the rubber is reproduction.
The scope mount is "modern" SSD and is the type specified for the GCY (Dietrich) factory rifles, a short run that was identical to the Krieghoff G type except for the scope mount - lol, it does not this Krieghoff, as SSD probably didn't have a GCY rifle to work from - but, it is an anachronism.

The wooden magazine crate is an original - it is missing the spacer boards - but the cuts are there.

The rubber muzzle cover - the jury is out on - it seems VERY clean and supple, compared to most of the muzzle MP44 covers I have - but who knows?

The bayonets are not in these pictures - I have an Estes Adams reproduction which is out with the MAS36 - we're using the Estes Adams to size the MAS46 - I like the aging on the MAS bayonet as it matches the rifle.

There are dummy-rounds in the magazine as the FG42 must not be dry fired - read it in the manual and the maintenance book - no joke.

The sling is from a Yugo M53 (it required no fitting) - I looked at the reproduction slings, "...would you hang an expensive rifle off one?..."

I found an 02 in Europe in a colleague's collection, mine is an 01 - we shall see.

Sjl is not a factory, proof or inspection mark - no one seems to know what the three letters mean - so it could just as well be true.
It doesn't obviously concur with the full bandolier theory, but there you go.

It sold - the dollar amount was good for both buyer and seller in this circumstance.
I am somewhat sad to see it go, even though it is just an object. But I spent three years restoring it and finding parts and accessories from around the world - However, it was too valuable to use in one of my movies, consequently it sat inanimate in my safe - except when it was dragged out to be photographed or studied.

I still have the Shoei non-firing Replicas of both E and G models.
They are good to get used-to taking-down the bolt and operating system on the original.
It is not an obvious system to disassemble - if you've disassembled an M60 it is a little familiar, though.
You don't want to break anything, by inadvertently forcing an old part.

The original magazines go for over $5000 a piece, the one in the picture above is a really nice one, too - in that it has never been apart from the rifle and is coded.
